research -- storm desk, library lore, or person lookup
Three different desks share the verb. They never merge databases.
How you play
1. On duty at Storm Watch: research logs weather normals for small dollars
2. In a library: research <topic> for lore, or research <name> for civilian web (public bio, felony docket at research 40+, served priors at 60+)
3. At an online terminal (library / cafe Wi-Fi / Lawrence federal office):
research <name> for the same civilian web pull
4. Illegal federal pull is hackrecords (electronics 70+) -- not this verb
journal hunter research is a parallel book -- never NCIC.
